I think that because the people are frozen and their cell walls have exploded, I doubt they'll be salvageable. If a less damaging form of stasis can be found, then it might be different.

They freeze them slowly in a very specific way so the guy claims there is no "cell cracking". 

?

I'd like to see a ruuuuullllllllllllllllllly detailed explanation of this

No, thank you. With my luck, I'll wake up and the future will be like some superbad Tom Cruise movie

No. I've seen Idiocracy.

I can see how it's possible. 30 years ago IVF was a new thing. Now we can thaw a blast and have it turn into a sucessful pregnancy.

I wouldn't want to do it but I can see the hope and possibilities for the future that people could have.

This is the place if you want to read their website.  The guy they interviewed, Ben Best, was uber creepy.

This is actually the worst "scientific" protocol I've ever read and I take classes with undergrads


A
period of time from a moment of death of a sheep to the beginning of
washout of head tissues from blood was practically absent.

was
carried out by the method previously described in The Immortalist 1994,
v. 25, No. 8, p.5. (I'll write a special article on determination of
CPA concentrations in tissues and cells.)

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
(Before
description of freeze-warming modes, I give an information about
average rates using Figs. 1,2 as an example. Figs. 1,2 concern my
article in The Immortalist 1997, No. 3/4, p. 48-50 (about the sheep
skulls). I am sorry, I have written in Figs. 1,2 "sheep heads" instead
of "sheep skulls". Comparing the average rates in the Figs. with the
ones in that article (p. 49), one can see that the average rates in
Figs. 1,2 more correctly reflect the curve of freeze-warming. I'll
therefore give an information about freeze-warming modes using merage
rates on approximately linear regions of the curves of freeze-warming.
All data on the freeze-warming modes were processed by PC (Pentium 133)
and were presented in the form of the graphs. That is very helpful for
my work.)


OMG I HAVE TO STOP READING. NO. NONONONONONONO. But, also, lulz at The Immortalist. Funny, my university doesn't have a subscription to that journal
